I, who have never been in love, seem not qualified to say what love is. But it is precisely because the bystanders are clear that I can stand in the audience and see the other side of love in the love and dislove of others.
The film "Letter from a Stranger Woman" has a slightly cliché beginning: a little girl is still infatuated with the handsome male neighbor who has moved in, looking for every opportunity to win his attention. . . . . . When she was about to express her heartfelt heart to the person she had been in love with for a long time, but after a long wait, she found out that the person she was in love with already had another love, so a girl's heart was broken. The story develops like a girl manga, innocent and true, but in order not to make people feel boring-such a story of Cinderella and the prince, whether it is a story telling or listening to the story, people must be tired of it. However, the film takes a turning point here: Lisa's love has not changed because of this-she even gave birth to a child for this man who did not remember her.
Lisa's love is so firm, nothing can be stopped, there is a kind of "I love you, it has nothing to do with you" free and easy. Why did the former Lisa refuse to confess her feelings to the male lead, tell the male lead the truth, and choose to tell all this when she is about to die? Some people say it is because of cowardice and timidity. But I think Lisa is not cowardly at all-giving birth to a child alone and raising him alone is not the pressure that ordinary women can bear. From this alone, we can see how strong and brave Lisa is.
How to describe how deep Lisa's love is? Even if a man left her behind after a night of romance, Lisa did not resent her. Even if she was pregnant with his child, Lisa would not ask him for anything. Even if he had completely forgotten it, Lisa, who endured the pain alone, never regretted every decision she made. For love, Lisa gave everything she could. She still loves to death.
Many people feel that he is not worthy of Lisa's love, because he is carefree, irresponsible, and not worthy of the beautiful and kind Lisa. But this is not a reason not to love someone-there is never a reason to love. The question is is this man who made Lisa fall in love with and become crazy about it? the answer is negative. Lisa didn't love him--she didn't love anyone--but love itself. In fact, Lisa was the only one in love from beginning to end. She enjoyed the sweetness and pain, sadness and ecstasy of love alone. She loved the taste of love, the feeling of expectation in her heart. The reason why Lisa stubbornly refused to say the name of the child’s father in the film was not because of the shame of unmarried pregnancy, but because in this love, she didn’t need his promise or responsibility, she knew , What I love is not the person in front of me, her love does not depend on him and exists. So Lisa gave birth to the crystallization of herself and love in her love. The reason Lisa chose him is only because abstract emotions always need someone to carry the concrete bearing, and this man is just the one who happens to appear at this moment.
It sounds strange, why does Lisa fall in love with an untouchable illusion like love instead of a real person?
Although everyone agrees that love is an immaculate sacred thing, few people can avoid the clichés after love: being together, turning a love into a life for two people, and mixing it up with the trivial chores. The once romantic love, once returned to life, had to take off its gorgeous coat, and became no different from the most ordinary village woman: quarreling for money, food, and not doing housework, to go to someone's house for the New Year, and so on. There is also an indisputable fact: people will change. How do you guarantee that the person from yesterday's eachother will still remember those pledges made today?
And falling in love, in this relationship, there is no one else except you. It’s like attending a magnificent banquet in full dress. The guests are only you, and the others are foils and vassals. The whole ceremony is held for you alone-you have absolute autonomy, absolute dignity, absolute peace of mind, absolute The nobility. Falling in love with the sweetness and warmth of love, the eternal love of love, the pain and tears of falling in love, the innocence and beauty of love, falling in love with such an absolutely perfect love, don’t worry about losing, don’t worry about changing, enjoy In the involuntary happiness that cannot help oneself, nothing can destroy all of this.
The director used Lisa's mouth to say, I don't want to be a woman who asks you for it. It seems to set an example of comparison for women: look at this kind of woman, who is beautiful and strong, and will never crawl to the feet of men. At the same time, he told everyone realistically, what can such a woman do if she maintains her independence and dignity, and finally lives by selling herself and then dies alone. Indeed, by worldly standards, Lisa really failed as much as she failed. She had nothing and achieved nothing. However, looking in another direction, how lucky Lisa is: after all, she was able to carry her love to the end, and she still had love in her heart to death, and she spent her life guarding a love that belongs to her only. In love, she is the biggest winner.
The classic thing about this movie is that while it narrates the whole story in its entirety, it does not simply show how misfortune the heroine is, but uses an aesthetic way to describe how wonderful love is. One thing: it's crazy and happy, and sad and regrettable. I believe that many people like and yearn for the bridge section where the hero and heroine play the train travel game in the amusement park. It is so beautiful and romantic, people can't help thinking, how great it would be if time could stay in this moment forever! Yes, if love never goes through the vicissitudes of life, and always looks beautiful, then what a wonderful thing. However, we have to admit that even with this kind of love, we have never seen the courage like Lisa. After all, human nature makes us always afraid of the loneliness of sleeping alone.
